Updated Permit List

Update NOV 12, 2023
So as people may have noticed I no longer actively update this post, and I haven't done so in years (last update was in 2017). I'm still in the game, and if you want to reach me or contact me about this thread, you can reach me at the East India Company Gaming discord, which can be accessed here.

If you do contact me on the discord regarding this thread, and any changes you would like to see, please come prepared with a writeup of the changes you would like to see on this post (including all the old stuff) and I will review them and add it. It should be as easy as copy and paste if I don't make any edits myself.

For the sake of continuity, I would also encourage people to archive this page on https://archive.org in case this thread ever gets deleted or moved as well.

================

So I decided to go ahead and update the list of permits known so far in the game. There is quite a bit of out of date, incomplete or outright wrong information from various sources, so I decided to compile the best info I've been able to find so far. I've also found precious little information about how to actually get some of these permits (or if it's even possible at all). So if you know something, share it and I will update it. Please contribute additional permit locations, and the best places to obtain them, as well as any other relevant information (such as why you'd want to get the permit or where the ideal locations are, if any).

PLEASE GIVE ME A +REP IF YOU HAVE CONTENT FOR ME TO ADD. Naturally I'll +rep you back. ;)

A BIG thank you to everyone who has contributed information so far! This thread has become a true community resource!

Important things to keep in mind when obtaining permits

The controlling faction is not always the permit providing faction.

You can rep up at any place the faction is at, but only systems within 15 light years of the permit faction's home system will provide the permit.



NEWS/UPDATES:

14 August 2017: I have decided to discontinue updating the rep systems by hand and instead will provide a direct link to eddb for each faction, which did not exist at the time when I originally created this thread. Credit to Factabulous on page 57 for finally for making this suggestion.

Naturally, there are still permit-locked systems out there that may yet be discovered, while there are others that should be taken off this list. I will check back every so often to see if there are any new updates. Thank you so much to people who have contributed to this thread!

ALSO! Added a community spreadsheet for you all to play with and add information to! Credit to 22tma on page 57 for the inspiration!

UPDATE: ISINOR PERMIT IS BACK AS OF 22 JUNE 2016!!:D

NOTE ON ISINOR: Not being able to get the Isinor permit is INTENDED, not a bug . Apparently no one was supposed to get the Isinor permit yet, so what was thought to be a bug was actually "working as intended". Link to the relevant thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=176824

28 Jan 2016 UPDATE: PHEKDA is no longer permit locked, as per the latest update as of 27 January. (see https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=227540 ) Therefore it has been removed from the list.



Tips on getting allied quickly with an Independent Permit faction

Exploration

5-7 million credits dumped at a station OWNED by a permit granting faction gets you to allied quickly. So take that trip to Sag A*, come back, hit up a few hundred neutron stars, and get allied. While the exploration takes forever, getting allied will go by quickly once you get back. Just be sure to re-outfit your ship with better shields, armor and thrusters and chaff to withstand the odd NPC interdiction.

Trade

Trade is also an excellant way to get to allied status while making some decent money. Here are some trade routes that will help you get allied.

tiliala
mazahun, arnold dock, buy imperial slaves,
bedaho, peters terminal,buy nothing for trip back.

van maanens star
wolf 562, hopkins port, buy performance enhancers,
tau ceti, graham terminal, buy palladium for trip back.

crom
cpd-28 332, hopkins station, buy progenitor cells,
69 g. carinae, lounge port, buy mineral oil for trip back.

ltt 198
gliese 868, maclean terminal, buy palladium,
kigandan, vinogradov port, buy mineral extractors for trip back.

nastrond
jadlillke, markham orbital, buy consumer technology,
wonorne nu, nowak hub, buy mineral oil for trip back.

isinor
hip 65636, cavalieri enterprise, buy palladium,
anotchadiae, malerba orbital, buy clothing for trip back.

Bounty Hunting

You can also bounty hunt your way to allied status for the following factions, at the following locations.

Dukes of Jotun - Blanquichu

PI MENSAE Brotherhood - Haz Res at Walgan 4

4 SEXTANTIS
Rep Systems?
Rank: n/a
Note: As per FDEV support on (referenced on page 57, thanks CMDR LeinhartKUF!), this system is deliberately unattainable. It is possible to see the permit, but ranking up to allied with the 4 Sextantis faction that gives it makes the permit mission disappear. Again this is not a bug, but FDEV's way of locking this system for a future content release.

LFT 509
Rank: n/a

MINGFU
Rank: n/a

HIP 54530

TERRA MATER
Faction: Brotherhood of Terra Mater
Rep Systems
Benefits: Gives you access to the rare good (Terra Mater Blood Bores). What's so good about Blood Bores you ask? It makes you super strong at the risk of completely destroying your body if you over exert yourself by accident. Very handy if you find yourself in the middle of a bar fight against 3 Federation bouncers who disagree with your pro-Empire politics. :DSource
UPDATE: Hecate no longer controlled by the brotherhood. But if you are so inclined, please help them get back into power in Hecate to help fellow permit holders.

NGC 2264 Sector
NGC 2286 Sector
NGC 3603 Sector

* Several stars (just a small handful) in the Bernard's Loop Area that are NOT in the Col 70 or Horsehead Dark Region may also be permit locked. If you find any, please report it. But Bernard's Loop itself (Trapezium Sector tagged stars specifically) does not appear to have any locked systems. Similarly, not every Col 70 or Horsehead Dark Region star is locked, just a very large percentage of them. If you leave the Bernard's Loop area, you'll be more likely to find Col 70 Or Horsehead Dark region stars that are not locked.

Example of a random star (not in Col 70 or Horsehead Dark Region tagged) in Bernard's Loop Area that is permit locked:

+rep for this, thank you. also, if anybody knows of any benefits from any of these systems, please place that info as well?

I'm not trying to be a smartasp, I don't know if there are any. I only have 2 permits :(
 
I passed through the Veil Nebulae East and West and saw no permit systems. There was one in NGC 7822 when I passed through, but now it does not appear to require one. There was an entire Pleiades subsector that required them, but no longer.

I think some of these system permit requirements may be transient from a bug. Need to post some specific systems and see if they still show permit requirements to everyone.

Why would that be important? I can denote that difference with a comment if it's really worth noting.
Hmm, I suppose it's not really.

Founder's world has the discount
Sol is hand-crafted (and higher likelihood of certain events going on vs other permit systems)
A few extra possible places to do trade routes that aren't as likely to be destroyed (due to limited availability)

I do think you raise a valid point. If you only care about getting a tangible benefit, it would be relevant to know this information since doing otherwise would just end up being a huge time sink vs doing other things like pew pew, community goals, trading, exploring, etc.

Thanks to you and CMDR Apocryphic for the info! Permits are still cool just because of the exclusivity though so I'll be chasing them soon :)
 
There was an entire Pleiades subsector that required them, but no longer.

I went on an exploring jaunt to the Pleiades in v1.1, and didn't notice any permit systems or areas while jumping all around the nebula. I could be wrong - my brain keeps mentioning Summerland in relation to this, but I don't remember where Summerland is, and I don't trust it. I think I visited about 10 systems in and around the nebula.
 
Sirius Corporation missions can currently be found in Avik and Procyon. Though I recommend Avik, as the nearest port in the Procyon system is 11k LS from the star.

Kamba - Found near Viracocha, just outside of Imperial space.
LHS 2921 - Found near Alioth in Alliance.

Is Virachocha and Alioth where to get these permits? Or just adding new permits to the list (which are now added)? The "found near" part confuses me since you can just put it in the search. :)
 
Jotun gives you access to the rare commodity Juton Mookah
Terra Mater - missions available in Hecate - gives you access to the rare commodity Terra Mater Blood Bores

@Yabba addict you got the Juton permit? don't think many others have this one :D

Yeah, had it about a month now. I made a 41 stop route and hit Juton, not realising I needed a permit. Finding the mission systems was easy enough though, they were the only ones Juton trades with.
 
Add Luyten's Star for Sirius missions and Amalangkan and Dhathaarib for the Hodack permit.

God knows why I worked like a ferret for the Hodack one. It's awfully quiet at the Evangelisti Settlement. :D
